Snowmen at Night
By Caralyn Buehner
Illustrator Mark  Buehner
Publisher Phyllis Fogelman Books

This is a what if story. The kind that offer as its premise something we absolutely know can't be true, but nevertheless is the stuff of imaginative speculation if it were true. In this book, a young boy imagines the secret life of snowmen. His speculation begins when he notices that the snowmen he built yesterday has changed in appearance. It's become a saggy, slightly dishevelled snowman. What has that snowman been up to to cause such a dramatic change in appearance. Could it be a game of baseball, or perhaps he's been off making snow angels. Your children will delight in all the possible snowman activities and will probably decide they should stay up and watch their own snowman to see if he, too, has a secret life.
